House With Moving Walls

[Verse 1]
I used to file my crooked edges
In a drawer marked “not for show”
But the drawer grew roots and wandered
Through the rooms I didn’t know
Now my seams are little doorways
Where the weather gets inside
And the map I called a failure
Turns its face and points ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Let it bend—let it bend
Every strange line can begin again

[Chorus]
I’m the house with the moving walls
Still standing when the old shape falls
Hey! We make room, we make room
For the days I haven’t met
I’m the house with the moving walls
Every crack lets tomorrow call
Hey! We make room, we make room
I’m not finished yet

[Verse 2]
There’s a staircase in my shadow
That goes nowhere on the plans
So I climb it when the morning
Puts a new key in my hands
All my odd angles keep the sunlight
From arriving straight and tame
I can live inside the changes
I don’t have to lose my name

[Bridge]
One step sideways—turn the frame
Two steps forward—keep the grain
Hey! Hey!

[Chorus]
I’m the house with the moving walls
Still standing when the old shape falls
Hey! We make room, we make room
For the days I haven’t met
I’m the house with the moving walls
Every crack lets tomorrow call
Hey! We make room, we make room
I’m not finished yet

[Outro]
The door swings out.
The sky moves in.
